World Ocean Radio Has Gone Global!

This is a big week for the World Ocean Observatory. First, it is a major milestone for World Ocean Radio: we broadcast our 300th audio episode since World Ocean Radio first aired in 2009. And second, this week we are announcing the launch of an expansion of World Ocean Radio into four additional languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Swahili.

World Ocean Radio GLOBAL
A selection of broadcasts are now available in four additional language versions – French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Swahili – translated from our audio archive and representing an extraordinary opportunity to extend our communication efforts beyond English and into major geographical areas that have been outside our broadcast capacity.
 
World Ocean Radio Global | Spanish
We now have the opportunity to offer our radio feature to outlets in France, Spain, Portugal, all the nations in Central and South America, and in certain regions of Africa.
 
World Ocean Radio Global | Swahili
World Ocean Radio brings discussion of the ocean and its impact on all aspects of human survival to a global audience. Provided at no cost, this weekly service is intended to provide responsible information and advocacy toward greater understanding of the meaning of the ocean for our lives, its rapidly degrading state, and a variety of specific actions that can be taken–both by governments and individuals–to mitigate the problems, modify behaviors, evolve policies, implement change, broaden public awareness, and build political will.

From Decline to Recovery
A Rescue Package for the Global Ocean
Rescue for the Global Ocean
In July, World Ocean Radio ran a four-part series on the new Global Ocean Commission report, From Decline to Recovery: A Rescue Package for the Global Ocean, which calls for wide-ranging actions over the next five years to reverse the process of decline of our world ocean. The four-part "Rescue for the Global Ocean" series can also be found in essay form online at HuffingtonPost.com.

Rescue Package for the Global Ocean
Have you had the opportunity to view this animated story of the Global Ocean Commission rescue package for the ocean? Narrated by David Millband of the GOC, it tells a clear and comprehensive story of the issues facing the world ocean and offers some resolutions that, if followed, will take a big step toward improving ocean health.
